So I'm too lazy to actually read all 111 pages of comments so I don't know if people have said this before, but quick things:
The rabies switch doesn't work the way you think. Any %skill damage and -enemy res that you have on switch is applied, but + skills aren't.
Also, cleansing does not reduce rabies duration provided the red rabies aura is still around them. Cleansing will make poison go away for a second, then rabies aura will reinfect them.
